I see your reflection

in my cellophane moon

 

a faraway moon that

sits lightly on the

evening’s staircase

 

while this wizened silence

stalks the land like gothic winds

 

even the sea falls and makes no sound

 

a carousel calls my name

from painted deer and nickelodeons

and melts into the slated night

 

the tambourine chimes

 

I cannot sleep

I cannot dream

 

I can only say your name

into the ringing gilded quiet
